Arrives Almost Fully Assembled - Just Attach Handle

The fact that this garden reel is almost ready to go out of the box, is a big plus for people who don't like to assemble things. A satisfied customer explains, "It comes right out-of-the-box almost completely assembled. You just have to at the handle which is super easy to do. Installation is also easy, And quite self-explanatory."

Mounting Hardware Not Included

For this reel to look and work as it was designed to, you will need to purchase mounting hardware, since it is not included with the purchase. Once you do mount it though, it should make life and garden upkeep that much easier. One customer had this to say, "I have installed 3 of these over the past several years. They are wonderful compared to the ones that sit on the ground. You don't have to worry about them moving around as you try to wind the hose up, provided that you have securely attached it to you house or shed. There are four mounting holes at the rear corners of the mount."

No More Kinks Nor Tangles

Many people commented how they liked that this reel prevented kinks and tangles. A customer explains, "This mounted nicely under our upper story deck and has eliminated the headaches associated with untangling and unkinking the hose that I experienced constantly when I draped the hose over a wall-hanger. This is a great value and I feel giddy every time I use it."

Much More Durable Than Plastic

You will pay more for this garden reel than most plastic reels, but in the long run it should be well worth the cost. A customer shared this about the material that it is made from, "This hose reel is very well made with all-aluminum construction and extra-heavy duty solid brass fittings that is certain to give many years of trouble-free service even fully exposed to the outdoor elements! ~ In the long run you will save money and frustration in having to replace the cheaper plastic versions that deteriorate in the sun & weather after only a few years of service."

Common Questions

Here are some top questions that I found for people considering buying a Liberty Garden Products Garden Hose Reel.

What is the space between the mounting bolts? I want to replace an old plastic reel, which has spacing 14" on center between bolts. The mounting holes are 16" on-center horizontally, and 13 1/2" on-center vertically.

Why do you need to use a leader hose? Can I use without that feature? What advantage does that offer? The leader hose connects the water supply to the reel. Then you connect your hose to the reel. Yes, you need it. The leader hose if usually short, say 5-6 feet. You could use without it but it would mean figuring out a way to roll you hose on the reel while connected to the water source. That would create a lot of issues and not really what this product was designed to do.

Does it include mounting hardware? It includes a hose to attach from reel to spicket, but you'll need to stop by the hardware store for whatever you plan on using to mount it to.
